A Friend in Need

As real estate agents, it’s great when we get the opportunity to serve our friends. Craig Burns recently had the opportunity to do just that when he helped the Conboys sell their home in Gainesville.

Craig knew David and Robin from his days as a pastor at Vienna Assembly of God. The Conboys served as pastors at another area church, and had just received a call to a new congregation in Maryland. So when it came time to sell, they immediately thought of their old friend and fellow pastor.

There were some challenges to selling the Conroy’s property. For starters, HOA rules prohibited the posting of signs or flyers to alert potential buyers. Hosting open houses and handing out flyers to neighboring businesses failed to yield the right buyer. But with a little bit of creative marketing, Craig was able to attract a first-time homebuyer who has now realized the dream of home ownership.

“The Conboys are one of the kindest couples on the planet,” Craig says, “and it makes me very thankful to see how the Lord has orchestrated everything.”
